A month after signing with Riverside, I noticed a charge to my business bank account from Northern Leasing. I tried to contact the representative for Riverside and he emailed me that I needed to contact Northern Leasing, which I did. After this initial email, the Riverside Rep became unreachable.Northern Leasing informed me, that as part of my arrangement with Riverside, I was now going to be charged $50/month for equipment and would be paying this for the next 5 years. I requested a copy of the contract with Northern Leasing and noticed what looked like my initials on the bottom of page 2 of the contract located in the "Lessor Office Use Only" space. I never initialed this page -- it was designated for the Lessor Only. This is fraud -- I use three letters for my initials and there are only 2 letters on the copy that I have.
In December of 2019, I closed my business and in late February of 2020, I closed the bank account associated with it. At the beginning of March, I started getting daily phone calls from Northern Leasing about my monthly payment.
On March 17, 2020, I contacted Northern Leasing notifying them that I had closed my business and the bank they were drawing payments from. Because I had contacted them after my March payment was due, my credit rating took a hit. However, I gave them new banking information and made the monthly payment with the attached Late Fee. The Northern Leasing representative asked me if he had my authorization to use the banking information and I said yes, but only for this payment. He told me if I wanted ACH payments to be made automatically each month, I would need to send a voided check to their office -- I never sent a voided check because I don't trust Northern Leasing and feared they would use the banking information to take payments without my approval and knowledge. To make future payments, I would just call them before the payments were due, which is exactly what I did before the next payment was due.
On March 30, 2020, I called Northern Leasing to make my payment of $50.93 using a debit card. I made the payment and received a confirmation number for the payment. I did not authorize the use of my debit card for any future payments because I don't trust this company.
On April 2, 2020, I noticed a withdrawal from my bank account to Northern Leasing in the amount of $55.93. On April 3, 2020, I called Northern Leasing and spoke to Rolena and inquired about the charge. She said it was for the monthly payment at which point I told her I had already called and made a payment over the phone and that I had the confirmation for that payment. I asked her how the ACH payment of $55.93 could be made without my approval. She said they had a voided check of mine and that was all the authorization that was needed. I informed her that I never sent a voided check to Northern Leasing, therefore, never authorizing the use of that banking information without my approval -- this is fraud. I also asked her why the payment had suddenly jumped up to $55.93. She informed that there is a $5 invoice fee -- i never received an invoice from Northern Leasing.
In order to get a refund for the payment that I never approved, Rolena said I would have to email Northern Leasing at [email protected], and that a refund would take 6-8 weeks. The fact that Northern Leasing can take my money without my approval (no voided check) whenever they want, and tell me I have to wait for almost 2 months to get my money refunded to me is wrong.
The fact that Northern Leasing forged my initials on the original contract is fraud, which is illegal.
